A vice principal who took disciplinary action to save the lives of students. 42 years have passed as a hypocrite to his students. A story of the reconciliation of a hypocritical teacher in his 90s.

May 27, 1980. The whole nation has been dead quiet since the massacre of the Jeollanamdo provincial government at dawn by the Martial Law Army, but Shinheung High School in Jeonju was an exception. All the students ran out of the classrooms into the school ground. The vice principal took disciplinary action against the school in order to not hand over the list of the students who led this movement. As a result, he became a hypocrite and the students rejected the class. Then the students burnt down the school’s main building. Eventually, he was forced to leave the school. The military government was demolished in the end as the students had wished for, but the misunderstanding between them got even deeper over the time of 42 years. The teacher is going to be 90 years old soon, and the kids are in their 60s. Now, they meet up to reconcile.

May 27, the last day of the Gwangju Uprising, which started on May 18 in Korea. The students of a high school in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do resisted injustice with their hearts out and the teachers would not want to hurt the kids. The action that was the best for both parties caused hatred and misunderstanding over 40 years, and the ‘best’ only left scars behind. Without getting any support from adults or local communities for the acts of justice from the kids, 40 years have passed. Even though it is late, with this documentary film, I would like to record and inform the stories of teenagers in other regions who responded to the blood of Gwangju in May 1980, and of the teacher who had no choice but to become a hypocrite in order to save the kids.
